A doctor found a hidden cartilage hole in the knee using MRI that wouldn't show up any other way. The speaker was a good candidate for repair surgery because of youth and activity level. The first step was cleaning up the damaged cartilage edges.
I would get some swelling on the top of my kneecap, on the top of my kneecap, and then right above it as well. It wouldn't hurt to the touch or anything. It really felt like it was underneath, and that's what it ended up being. But it wasn't until my physician had really sliced the MRI and he said, you can't really see it unless I sliced this, you wouldn't be able to know. Mm-hmm. And so he's like, you are a great candidate. You're, you're young, you're healthy, you're very athletic and active in general with your lifestyle. So we've seen some good outcomes with this procedure. And the first step of the whole procedure was to just clean up the lines of that cartilage hole.
